I really like biblical baby names, however I feel like there are lots of good boy baby names and less variety of girls. If you had to pick a biblical baby name what would your top boy and girl choices be?

Miriam, Samuel, Anna, Esther, Isaac. I'm quite fond of Judith too. Simeon's lovely - you don't hear of many boys called that. And not many little Davids around these days.

There are some great unused Bible names though. I sometimes come across lists of names/genealogies in the Bible and wonder why none of the other names ever made it into popular culture
